The Manchester Cowboy is riding home tonight
Tall in the saddle as he casts a silent light
Into one last sunset, down that English path
As he waves his hat with one last smile and laugh
The little Artful Dodger is humming to the wind
Thinking where he’s going and where he just had been
One more chance to please the crowd, and leave them wanting more
Is all he ever wanted and asked for
One more song, before you go
One more song, that we all know
Making believers out of daydreamers
With that twinkle in your eye
To the Manchester Cowboy, adios and goodbye
Instrumental Piano
The center stage is empty and the instruments are still
A single tambourine shines in the light, that will be never filled
The age of innocence that we knew, they say it’s gone away
But it always comes back once that music plays
One more song, before you go
One more song, that we all know
Making believers out of daydreamers
With that twinkle in your eye
To the Manchester Cowboy, adios and goodbye
